About Pacifica Cantonese
On Church Rd in Manchester, Pacifica Cantonese is a Chinese restaurant serving Cantonese dishes, with a Sky Lounge bar upstairs. Starters are ordered in several rounds, with more available on request, and prawn toast is on the menu. Main courses are smaller and suggested for sharing between two or three people, served with rice or noodles. Banquet B is a set meal for two. Sunday brings an all-you-can-eat buffet, and food left uneaten is billed to limit waste. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays. The upstairs Skylight Room can be hired for private parties, which suits groups.

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday all you can eat buffet is what most diners return for, with several describing it as plentiful and no different in quality from the regular menu. Starters come in generous portions, and the prawn toast is called the best one reviewer has ever had, enough that they bought some to take home. Main courses are described as smaller, served with rice and noodles, and one reviewer suggests sharing them between two or three people. A Cantonese steak carried an extra charge that its diner found well worth it, and another couple chose the Banquet B for two. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, regularly offering more food or drink, and the atmosphere is described as vibrant and busy. The upstairs room hosted a 70th birthday for 45 guests. The one complaint comes from a Mother's Day lunch where orders arrived inconsistently and the table kept asking where dishes were, though the food was still called delicious. Reviewers also note that uneaten buffet food is billed, and one group left barely anything over.

“Went for the Sunday all you can eat and as always it was amazing. Staff are lovely and regularly ask if you want more food or drink. Food is top quality, no difference to what you'd get if dining off the regular menu. The prawn toast is the best I have ever had, even bought some to take home for my husband. Highly recommended”
- Nick Walmsley
“Fantastic meal as always. We tend to visit on a Sunday for the Buffet Style Menu. The price is acceptable, the food is excellent and plentiful providing you don't waste much. The atmosphere is always vibrant as it tends to be busy and full of life. I would strongly recommend this place to eat, as previously mentioned, the food is excellent and so are they staff. Very attentive and accommodating. 5 stars here.”
